Chapter 54: Crushing Once Again

Increasing one’s ability development requires a great deal of calmness and patience. Time quickly passed by.

At 7 o’clock in the evening, Dean Lin Xu once again gathered the students in the staircase classroom.

Then, Lin Xu said, “After a day of cultivation, I believe everyone has gained some insights and also some doubts, right? Now, if you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask me!”

One student after another raised their hands, asking their own doubts. Lin Xu, the future headless war god, was surprisingly patient at this moment, earnestly answering their questions. The whole process lasted for more than forty minutes, and many students gained something from it.

It wasn’t until no one asked any more questions that Lin Xu said, “Alright, that’s it for today. You can go eat something and rest early. Remember to balance work and rest.”

At this moment, a male student with purple hair stood up and said, “Teacher, I’m very interested in Classmate Ye’s abilities. He clearly has an A-class talent, but he can challenge opponents at the S-class. I also want to test his strength.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu said, “The future of awakened individuals is to fight against others and fight against mutated beasts. Fighting is inevitable. It’s actually a good thing for you to have a reasonable exchange. Ye Xuan, do you agree to spar with Zhao Lei?”

Ye Xuan glanced at Zhao Lei and said, “Sure.”

Zhao Lei was an S-class ability user. His ability was the power of thunder god, capable of manipulating the most explosive lightning power between heaven and earth. His attack power was quite terrifying.

Unfortunately, with his ability class, today’s cultivation would increase his ability development by at most less than 0.1.

On the other hand, due to the reward from the shopping mission with Su Mengli, Ye Xuan’s ability development had already reached 6%.

As two S-class ability users, Ye Xuan’s ability development was six times that of Zhao Lei. How could Zhao Lei possibly be Ye Xuan’s opponent?

Moreover, Ye Xuan was also equipped with the Witch’s Cloak, which naturally restrained opponents of the elemental system. Therefore, Zhao Lei challenging Ye Xuan was like lighting a candle in the toilet, seeking death!

Afterward, the group went to the martial arts arena again. The other students were also excited, as they were all young people who enjoyed watching the excitement. It was even more interesting now that Ye Xuan had such a special identity, an A-class awakened individual who had captured Su Mengli, a goddess with unparalleled talent and looks.

At the same time, his competition with Qin Heng was considered a fake match, and everyone was curious about the outcome of this battle.

Ye Xuan and Zhao Lei stepped onto the stage of the martial arts arena. Zhao Lei looked at Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, be careful. My ability is to control thunder and lightning, with full killing power. If you can’t hold on, surrender immediately to avoid casualties.”

Ye Xuan calmly replied, “Come.”

Then, Zhao Lei shouted loudly, and between his five fingers, purple lightning flickered. He swung his hands towards Ye Xuan, and a purple lightning force spread out, striking Ye Xuan’s body.

The purple lightning force touched the shield brought by the Witch’s Cloak, and the lightning force dissipated, while the shield of the Witch’s Cloak remained intact.

The description of the Witch’s Cloak stated that it could withstand one magical attack. This so-called “one” referred to a sufficiently powerful attack, not just any attack that could break the shield.

Currently, Zhao Lei was equivalent to a class one mage, and Ye Xuan was also class one, but he was wearing a Witch’s Cloak that required a class ten or above to equip.

If Zhao Lei’s magical damage was ten points, the Witch’s Cloak could withstand more than two thousand points of magical damage in one attack. How could he possibly harm Ye Xuan?

Of course, when Zhao Lei’s ability development exceeded 50%, he might be able to break Ye Xuan’s shield with a casual strike.

The Witch’s Cloak was not invincible, but at least at the current stage, it was very difficult for Zhao Lei to break the shield.

Ye Xuan calmly looked at Zhao Lei and said, “Use more force. I can still handle it.”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Lei’s face, but he continued to control the lightning force and bombard Ye Xuan.

One strike, two strikes, three strikes, four strikes of lightning continued to bombard, but Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, and his body didn’t move at all.

At this moment, the students below the stage were stunned. What was going on? Could it be that Zhao Lei had also been bought off by Ye Xuan?

Seeing that his attacks were ineffective, Zhao Lei also became anxious. In a moment of carelessness, the lightning did not strike Ye Xuan but instead hit a student who was watching nearby.

That student immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered. His hair stood on end, his face was charred, and he even spewed out black smoke from his mouth.

Obviously, Zhao Lei’s lightning power was genuine and had full killing power!

But why was it that this lightning power had no effect when it struck Ye Xuan?

At this moment, Lin Xu, the future headless war god, was also puzzled. This kid was really strange. What exactly was going on? How could an A-class ability user be so difficult to deal with?

Zhao Lei’s attacks on Ye Xuan with lightning had already reached eight or nine strikes. It was meaningless to let him continue.

Therefore, Ye Xuan endured these lightning strikes and walked step by step to Zhao Lei’s front. Then, he placed his right hand on Zhao Lei’s shoulder and said calmly, “Zhao Lei, do you still refuse to admit defeat?”

Zhao Lei could feel the pressure coming from Ye Xuan’s body. Ye Xuan’s hand on his shoulder made him feel as if a small mountain was pressing down on him. His body was slightly tilted and difficult to move.

Then, with a face full of frustration, Zhao Lei said, “I admit defeat!”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “That’s good. By the way, we are all in the cultivation stage, and time is precious. I have accepted challenges from others for two consecutive days, but I can’t waste time for no reason. If anyone wants to challenge me in the future, can we add some rewards? The loser should bring out a few spirit stones. That way, it would be fair.”

After saying that, Ye Xuan stepped down from the stage.

At this moment, Lin Xu came to Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, take off your clothes.”

Ye Xuan was taken aback and asked, “What do you mean?”

Lin Xu calmly said, “The battle between you and Zhao Lei just now felt very abnormal to me. Do you have any special items on your body that can resist lightning?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate and directly took off his clothes, revealing his upper body. What’s the big deal about showing off his muscles as a man?

Due to his 6% ability development, Ye Xuan’s body had also undergone some changes. His figure was like that of a male model, looking slim when dressed, but muscular and well-defined when undressed. His eight-pack abs were clearly visible, complementing his already handsome facial features, making him quite charming.

There were quite a few female students in the Awakening Academy, and at this moment, they were all amazed. Some of the bolder ones even whistled.
